Xantrex Technology 3000 manual Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances

Safety

5.Remove all metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a short circuit current high enough to weld metal to skin, causing a severe burn.

6.Have someone within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.

7.Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

8.Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes while working near batteries.

9.If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running cold water for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.

10.If you need to remove a battery, always remove the ground terminal from the battery first. Make sure all accessories ar off so you don’t cause a spark.

Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances

CAUTION: Equipment damage

Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage charging output.

Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged if connected to the XPower Inverter 3000 Plus. Do not use the following with the XPower Inverter 3000 Plus:

•Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.

•Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand tools. These affected chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.
